STAB has a lessened effect for dual type pokemon? Huh, guess I can still learn things about this game.Onyx Oblivion said:SNIP
Here's the Magikarp Sweep mentioned earlier:Prof. Monkeypox said:Exactly, as I said, all I can think of is a ghost.TerranReaper said:Well, the thing with the level 1 aron is that it is currently banned for use. Reasoning is that there are very little counters to it and you will always need one slot on your team to specifically counter it.Prof. Monkeypox said:Oh man, that was some nice meta-game thinking.TerranReaper said:Along with a Weedle sweep. Gen 5 also introduces the Level 1 Aron sweep.Prof. Monkeypox said:Yeah, I think I saw that. I believe he tanked with a focus band, and used flail after baton-passing a ton of attack and speed.Polock said:Funny you say that.Prof. Monkeypox said:My favorite pokemon that sucks?
Do Magicarp or Abra count?
I have a soft-spot for those two.
If not, the caterpie line of evolution. I just think they're pweety.
I saw a youtube video of a guy with a level 100 magikarp defeat an entire team of legendary pokemon (also level 100).
Someone want to quote me and post that vid? I can't find it. Funny stuff.
Come to think of it, I saw something similar with a caterpie...
Too bad the other guy didn't have any ghost types.
Must think of new counter...
However, I wonder who came up with it, or how long it took for it to occur to them.

And on the Aron sweep, couldn't something that resisted sadnstorm, something with Toxic or something with Roar or Whirlwind just end that sweep?
Correct, those could work, you just have to ensure you don't damage the Aron with a move that would normally kill it. Keep in mind though, not a lot of teams carry Roar or Whirlwind, plus they are low priority moves, and Toxic will leave the user with only 12-13 hp, which it would most likely guarantee a revenge kill after the Aron is dead.Anchupom said:Here's the Magikarp Sweep mentioned earlier:Prof. Monkeypox said:Exactly, as I said, all I can think of is a ghost.TerranReaper said:Well, the thing with the level 1 aron is that it is currently banned for use.

Isn't there an ability that prioritises non-damaging moves in Gen 5 now? Quick "GTFO, Aron" right there.TerranReaper said:Correct, those could work, you just have to ensure you don't damage the Aron with a move that would normally kill it.

There's an ability that allows to increase the priority by one, but it's not enough to help matters.Anchupom said:Isn't there an ability that prioritises non-damaging moves in Gen 5 now?
